Need Help Making Mobs

[SirWolf312]

I have decided to make a few extra generic mobs for my PCs to fight and to give me more options when making encounters; so far I've thought of three(all martial based) but I want to make a bigger list.

Here are the three I have:

Legion Fighter
Special Ability- Together- The Legion Fighter cannot be flanked when adjacent to one or more other Legion Fighter(s)
Gear - Scale armor, heavy shield, short sword, javelin x 2

This mob would probably be a a minion with multiple of the same mob in a battle. The would try to stick together to gain the benefit of Together. Their other tactics would be very similar to those of the fighters of Roman Legions.

Spinmaster
Special Ability- Turn Tables- the Spin master shifts 1 square adjacent to target on a hit.
Gear- Leather armor, Shuriken x 10, spearsword
The spearsword is something I thought of that is a weapon that has a blade the same length as a short sword or dagger with a longer handle creating a short spear looking sword. The weapon is thin and made for slashing. The Spinmaster gets it name from the way it spins and twirls when it attacks.

I've thought of one move I want this mob to have - Shuriken burst - it's a burst attack that has the range of the shuriken and can only hit enemies that have nothing between the Spinmaster and the target.

Name TBD
Special Ability- Strong Arm- Roll a d4 to determine the effect on a hit with a heavy thrown weapon.
1 - Target is dazed until the start of the attacker's next turn
2 - Same as 1 except target is stunned instead of dazed
3 - Target is pushed 1 square
4 - Target is knocked prone
Gear- Hide armor, trident, throwing hammers x 3
This mob likes to stay out of combat as long as possible by throwing its hammers trident(also has a recharge of 4 5 6 that makes them return to its hand) before engaging in melee combat.

That's all i have so far, suggestions on mobs, attacks, abilities, and names are welcome and encouraged

Legion Fighter
Special Ability- Together- The Legion Fighter cannot be flanked when adjacent to one or more other Legion Fighter(s)

Although it depends on what your group is consisted of, this minion is really made for killing by controllers, or anyone with an AoE attack. The idea behind minions is to spread them out, make people "waste" attacks on them, while they might even get a shot at you. This way, you grouped them nicely for a "Fireball". At least try adding some good defenses, an ability to charge into battle, making it harder for PCs to try blast them without hurting their allies or even some "Turtle Shell" ability which makes them more resistant to bursts and blasts. [in my opinion]

Good luck with this! :)

I was thinking something along the lines like that. Like I said I haven't thought of powers yet, but for the "turtle shell" power would that just raise defense or would it make them impervious to attacks from the front?

What Surrealistik said.

Don't make the Spinmaster a mob, make it a minion, adjust Surrealistik's Skirmisher.

As for Name TBD, make him a brute, with throwing weapon and add something for grabbing - that could be fun. So, they throw stuff, and once without ammo (they should carry just a few hammers), they go on rampaging. Or if someone approaches them. I like that.

I'm using the word mob as a general term for monsters, it's something i've picked up from friends, the roll/level on them are TBD. And does anyone have an idea for the name of the TBD mob?
